Packages that people have gotten to work

[ihf]

A Pythonista-specific code repository would be great but in the meantime I wonder if people would be willing to say which packages they have working under Pythonista and which have been determined to be unusable (at least to date with v1.4). Looking back over this forum, NumPy and SciPy are mentioned several times and may be included in the imminent release of v1.5. Some others that I or others have inquired about are:

1. NLTK

2. Pandas

3. NetworkX

4. Twisted

Perhaps anyone who has successfully or unsuccessfully worked on other significant packages could relate their experience?

I have got CodernityDB to work in Pythonista (http://labs.codernity.com/codernitydb/)

I'll add SQLAlchemy to the list. Also bottle v0.13 (Pythonista has 0.12 I believe) Fixes the basic auth issue.

xlwt seems to work.

Presumably xlrd does as well, but I haven't checked yet.

I successfully used the following packages to convert Markdown to PDF with Pythonista:

• markdown2 *
• html5lib
• PIL/Pillow *
• PyPDF2
• ReportLab (C speed-up extensions removed)
• xhtml2pdf

* included in Pythonista

I haven't tested these packages apart from this application, but they import with no errors.

(See also this thread.)

Html5lib v0.999 (current) is also included in Pythonista.

@ccc ok, good to know. Didn't see that in the documentation. I'll remove it from my bundle.
